Got a call from this number today around 11:49, but I didn’t answer since it looked unfamiliar. I’m pretty careful with my phone number and only share it with a few close family members in case of emergencies. No idea where they got it from though.

Avoid answering calls, texts or emails from numbers you don’t recognise - it's often a scam! Be super careful not to let anyone record your voice since there are scams about cloning voices nowadays (just search “voice cloning scams” to learn more). If you get a suspicious call or message, make sure you report it through the proper channels. You can text the phone number and any info about the call to 7726, even if it was a silent call. They might ask you to reply again to confirm. Also, use your phone's built-in spam reporting tools for calls and texts. For scam emails, forward them to '[email protected]' and report them through your email provider’s phishing reporting option (usually found by clicking the three dots). The more times such scams get reported across official platforms like police and Ofcom, the better the chances are that action will be taken. If you want more advice, search for 7726 and '[email protected]' online. Stay safe out there!

I decided not to pick up, and after seeing what others have said, I’m pretty relieved I didn’t. Looks like it might just be one of those annoying or scam calls.

Got a call from this number the other day but couldn't pick up because I was tied up. Thought it was probably one of those annoying moving home scams or something. Tried ringing back just in case but it was engaged. Anyway, I’ve blocked it now and won’t be answering if it comes through again.

They ring me several times daily, using a different number with every call.

Picked up the phone, but there was no sound on the other end.

Here's yet another number that's been ringing me non stop from some telemarketers.

Got a call from an Indian call centre, said someone’s been using my number to apply for car finance. I told the guy to take my number off their list straight away. Then he just told me to hang up next time. So irritating!

Beware of housing disrepair cons trying to trick vulnerable folks. To help fight these frauds, make sure to REPORT EVERYONE you suspect. See below for more info. A heads up: these scammers often record your voice to pull off voice cloning scams, which they pair with their usual bank frauds. Search online for ‘voice cloning scams’ and ‘saying yes scams’ to get news and police warnings about this serious AI-driven risk. They only need a few seconds of your voice to make a clone. So when you get a call from an unknown number, just give a quick ‘hello’ grunt and don’t say anything else. Listen carefully, then end the call and report it. Also, delete any personal messages from your answerphone, never phone back strangers, and be wary of who has access to your voice clips on social media. These voice cloning and ‘saying yes’ scams are really dangerous – stay safe!

This number called claiming to be from some crypto fraud prevention service, but it was just a scam. Definitely block it and make sure to report!

Got a call on my home phone around 11:03 on 21st July 2026. Some bloke with an Indian accent claimed he was from Lycamobile. Told him he wasn’t, then he just dropped the call. Sounds like a scam to me.

Got a call but they didn’t leave a voicemail or anything. Figured it might be one of those dodgy sales calls, but I’m open to being shown otherwise.

I didnt pick up and they didnt leave a message, so I figured it was probably a scam. Checked it on here and it turns out it was!

Got another call from a number I didn't recognise. Just blocked it and deleted straight away.

I got a call from 01276 819851 recently and it turns out they wanted me to do a survey for the Frimley NHS about local residents. Seems like they’re picking people to give feedback.

I got a phone call from someone claiming my husband was cheating on me!

Got a ring from some cold calling firm about setting up home improvement appointments. Didn’t hang about, just blocked it straight away.

Blocked them right away - Nationwide Telephone Assistance Ltd is definitely spamming. Not giving them the time of day.

Didn't catch my phone ringing at all, but after reading through what others have said, I’m actually quite relieved it stayed silent.

They said they were from EE but I’m with a completely different network, so I knew it was a scam.

The number that called me was flagged as a possible telemarketing call.

Got a missed call from this number, but after reading some of these stories, I’m not gonna bother ringing them back.

I got a call from someone who I think might be from a utility firm in India. When I asked how they found my number, they just ended the call. Quite suspicious.

As soon as I picked up, they just cut the call. Cheers for posting this dodgy number!

Scammers and spammers often mess around with the 020 4578 prefix, adding different four numbers after it. It’s quite common to get calls from those sorts of numbers.
